Keep in mind: What the page says: Confirmed: under OAK, 'George and Lydia Eager, Oct. 23, 1744' (the marriage that the Marlborough search could not find), 'George and Marcy Bartlett of Marlborough, int. May 24, 1765', 'Hannah and Gershom Fay, Oct. 20, 1727. C.R.', 'John and Susanna Allin, Nov. 3, 1742', 'Nathaniel and Keziah Maynard, June 7, 1736'; under OAKE, 'Ann and David Maynard, March 14, 1737.

Whether these are our people: Likely, not Confirmed. The names and dates of these couples match the tree's children of Nathaniel and Mary (Holloway) Oak and their spouses, and Susannah Allen, widow of John Oak, who married John Butler; the page names no parents. Nathaniel and Keziah Maynard fit a Nathaniel Oak (b. 1703) with a second wife, but Keziah is not in the tree and the entry could also be another Nathaniel; George and Marcy Bartlett (1765) is not tagged.
